Testimonials

What Our Clients Say About Us

    "If you have skin problems and are embarrassed about them like I was than this is the right office to come to. They are very welcoming and don't make you feel like your different from other people. I came in with a very bad acne problem and was so scared of all the things they were going to say about me, but they didn't. I was able to make an appointment that worked with my schedule and didn't have to wait to be seen when I got there."

    Victoria L.

    "I love going for my annual checkup, the team there is outstanding, friendly and engaging. I also adore them for donating to me samples to give to the homeless in a Santa Rosa location, and to the fire victims of the Camp Fire. So grateful for their big hearts."

    Judy M.

    "I am grateful for the personality and skill of Dr. Anders.  I have seen him for a number of skin concerns over the years.  I have felt in great hands with his reassuring way.  Amazed that I felt no pain with the procedures that I had to get done, and relieved that he was able to tackle my pressing concern with swift action guided by experience and knowledge.  I recommend him without exception. "
